Chapter 155: Father (4)

The giant monster is asking about the age.

That’s right.

“......”

Kim Jeonggu glanced at the lifeless body of Uijeongbu’s Strongest Sword, split in half.

“So, you say I can’t be your father...? You must have made a serious mistake.”

As seen before, revealing one’s age often leads to death.

But not revealing it didn’t seem likely to save him either.

‘What should I do? It seems like he really thinks of me as his father.’

The opponent was a skilled fighter, unstoppable by force, as seen earlier, fleeing from him was impossible.

‘How did I end up meeting such a lunatic?’

Cold sweat trickled down.

Yet Jeonggu desperately calculated the age difference between himself and the giant.

‘Ah... How old did he say he was earlier? Thirty-four?’

And Kim Jeonggu is 58 years old this year.

So if we subtract the giant’s age from Jeonggu’s age...

‘...Twenty-four.’

What happened then?

It was so long ago that I really couldn’t remember.

‘No, is he claiming I had a son at such a young age?’

As Jeonggu stood there with a face that could burst into tears at any moment, Joseon’s Strongest Sword impatiently prompted him while gripping the evil sword menacingly.

“Age, please tell me.”

“W-Why does that matter at all? You’re going to kill me anyway once you hear my age!”

“......”

At this, Yeongwoo looked at the sword ‘Bastard’, which had already been covered in blood once.

“That’s still under consideration.”

“What...?”

Kim Jeonggu, who was starting to feel terrified by the opponent.

In contrast, Yeongwoo was serious.

“He was killed because he was the Uijeongbu’s Strongest Sword. His notorious reputation has spread from Cheorwon to this area.”

Then Yeongwoo scratched his chin with Dragon’s Legacy, thoughtfully.

It was an unconscious action due to holding swords in both hands, but to those who saw it, it was a threat of murder in itself.

“Of course, even if he claimed to be my father, I would have killed him. Considering he was kept in prison until the reset day, he must have been a level 6 human... It would’ve been right to erase him as a son.”

Yeongwoo muttered his inner thoughts.

Of course, most of the people present didn’t properly hear his words, but Kim Jeonggu, the Dobong Strongest Sword, was different.

“Level 6...?”

Kim Jeonggu’s mouth fell open involuntarily.

Then Yeongwoo said as if he had expected it.

“Father, you’re a level 6 human, right? Am I right?”

“Uh... Yeah?”

Dobong’s Strongest Sword was visibly flustered.

What are the chances of guessing the internal grade of a person you’ve never seen before?

It was clear that the giant knew in advance his self-proclaimed father’s level.

And coincidentally, the internal grade of the ‘father’ Kim Jeonggu pointed out by the giant was.

‘Me, me... It’s true that I’m a level 6.’

Shivers ran down his spine, and a vague sense of terror arose.

Could it be that everything the giant had been saying so far was true?

‘Did my own child grow up without my knowledge?’

Chuk.

As Kim Jeonggu retreated in confusion, a woman’s voice could be heard from somewhere behind.

“She could have given birth alone. Anyway, what he said might not be entirely wrong.”

The owner of this voice was Choi Jongseon, the Yangju Strongest Sword, who was riding on an iron horse with a baby in her arms.

“W-Who are you...?”

Kim Jeonggu looked at Jongseon and was surprised.

Could she be his daughter-in-law?

『Yangju’s Strongest Sword』

‘Fuck, what am I thinking right now?’

He shuddered and turned his head back towards the giant, only to see the madman approaching from behind.

“...Ugh!”

“It’s probably hard to admit it right away. Since it doesn’t feel real.”

As if urging him to strike with the sword, Kim Jeonggu extended his neck and uttered a profound line.

If this was a penalty for his achievement, he would accept it.

‘...Why did he suddenly become so detached?’

Yeongwoo, rather perplexed by the sudden change in the opponent’s attitude, then thought to himself.

‘Is this guy a con artist? He seems to be acting somehow to escape.’

A ‘stubborn’ person certified by the system.

Yeongwoo raised the mythical one-handed sword ‘Bastard’ into the air as soon as doubt arose in his heart.

Swish.

“If you think that way, I’m very grateful. In fact, I have an achievement to find my parents and kill them.”

“...What?”

At Yeongwoo’s unexpected confession, Kim Jeonggu, who had been stretching his neck, widened his eyes.

“W-What did you say?”

“Soon, if I strike at your father’s neck, you’ll know. If we really are father and son, the achievement will be completed.”

“Wait a minute!”

“Even if you say no, since there might be some achievement, please accept the penalty, Father!”

Hwaaaaah!

“Bastard,” had begun to swing towards Kim Jeonggu’s neck.

Everyone, including Choi Jongseon, closed their eyes tightly.

“Ugh evil!”

“Is he really crazy?”

“Aaaah!”

No one wanted to witness another scene where a human body was torn apart in real time.

However...

Swish!

What people expected didn’t happen at all.

Initially, Yeongwoo had no intention of striking Kim Jeonggu’s neck.

Therefore, the blade of the “Bastard” stopped before touching Kim Jeonggu’s neck.

But Kim Jeonggu...

“Ah...”

He was performing a big motion that everyone in the audience stand couldn’t miss, rolling sideways.

Swoosh!

He even managed to pull out a dagger hidden in his bosom while rolling.

His speech about accepting fate just now was purely a ruse.

“This bastard?”

As Yeongwoo’s eyes blazed with astonishment at the unexpectedly clever move, suddenly his vision flashed, and a system prompt appeared.

Ping!

[Dogo] “Paternal Confirmation”

[Mission] Spend 3 days with ‘Kim Jeonggu11.’

[Reward] 20 million karma.

[Special] Kim Jeonggu11 must remain alive during the mission.

This was none other than a Dogo quest.

‘Ah.’

This was the first request he received after meeting with the chairman.

‘Spend three days with that bastard?’

The advertiser didn’t want to go so far as to demand his death.

After all, Dogo had criticized the production company Lemu for being vulgar.

Considering that Dogo was a group with strong ideals, it couldn’t just stand by while its own advertising model killed his father.

‘What about the achievement then? The conditions seem to imply that I can kill him after three days.’

[Complete Orphan]

|Find and eliminate parents. (1/2)

Actually, Yeongwoo originally didn’t have the intention to kill the man in front of him, but after seeing that amazing roll just now, his killing intent surged.

But how could he refuse the 20 million karma that would come rolling in with time?

“......”

After calming his mind for a moment, Yeongwoo spoke to Kim Jeonggu, who had hidden the dagger again.

“I’ve changed my mind. I won’t kill you, Father. Instead, there’s a condition.”

“A c-condition...?”

“Convince me within three days. If you’re really not my father, you’ll have to prove it somehow.”

Then Kim Jeonggu, unsure of himself, asked a negative question first.

“...What happens if I fail?”

“Then I’ll truly become a Complete Orphan.”
